Member Function Documentation
| virtual bool acedia::AbstractActor::backlinkTo | ( | ActorRef & | who | ) | [pure virtual] |
Link who to this actor and return true on success.
If you call backlinkTo on an exited actor that actor will return true but calls linkExited on who.
- Parameters:
-
who the actor which asks for a backlink
Implemented in acedia::Actor, and acedia::ActorProxy.
| boost::int32_t acedia::AbstractActor::exitReason | ( | ) | const throw () [inline] |
- Returns:
- the exit reason of an actor or -1 (exit_reasons::NOT_EXITED) if the actor has not exited yet
Definition at line 156 of file abstractactor.hpp.
Forward the message what to whom.
- Note:
- Forwarding does not change sender() / receiver() of
what.
Definition at line 94 of file abstractactor.cpp.
| boost::uint32_t acedia::AbstractActor::id | ( | ) | const throw () [inline] |
Get the unique actor id needed to serialize it.
- Returns:
- the unique actor id
Definition at line 165 of file abstractactor.hpp.
| bool acedia::AbstractActor::isFarRef | ( | ) | [inline] |
Test if this actor runs on a remote node.
- Returns:
- true if this actor runs on a remote node in the network; otherwise false;
